Now that you have determined where the modules will be placed it is time to install the Breeze air conditioning system.
STEP 2 – Hang wall mount bracket
Using the paper template as a guide locate two studs
behind screw hole locations in the template. It is
preferrable to mount the hangaing plate on studs. If two
studs are not available, utilize anchors appropriate for
the wall type with a combined weight capacity of at least
60 lbs. Standard wood screws and drywall anchors are
provided.
If you are installing the system by drilling a 3" hole
through the wall (Option 1), mark the location of the 3"
hole centerline on the wall as well.
STEP 3 – Drill hole (Option 1) or mount
SimpleSill™ (Option 2).
Always follow all local and national codes when in-
stalling equipment. Obtain the help of trained, skilled
worker where necessary.
Option 1: Drill hole-through the Wall Installation
Drill 3" hole through the exterior wall.
NOTE: This should only be done by qualified install-
ers. Consult local and national codes before drilling any
holes. Mark the hole location on the indoor wall using
the template. (If locating unit above a window or door,
making sure the hole is above structural header)
Using a stud finder, scan area around desired hole loca-
tion for pipes, ducts, electrical conductors and struc-
tural elements. Relocate indoor unit mounting location
as necessary to avoid interference.
Using a 3" hole saw, drill hole through wall from inside
toward outside. When center spiral drill penetrates out-
side wall, stop drilling. DO NOT drill the entire 3" from
the inside to prevent exterior wall damage. (TIP: tape a
bag to the wall directly below hole location to catch drill
debris and dust or use a shop vacuum while drilling)
Complete 3" hole from outside of the home by locating
center spiral drill bit penetration. Using the 3" hole saw
finish drilling through the wall from the outside of the
home.
NOTE: Wall mount bracket ships mounted to the back of the indoor
unit with a single Phillips head screw. Remove screw to release the
bracket for installation
